Resources for quarter four 2025

Your mission. Your legacy. As we enter the season of giving, Everence offers a number of ways to increase your charitable impact.

Open up new roads of generosity with gifts of a range of assets, and Everence can help you coordinate, manage and administer those gifts into real and lasting impact.

• Consider gifts beyond cash – securities, real estate, life insurances, farm commodities, collectibles and more.
• Remember to make qualified charitable distributions (QCD) from your taxable IRA before the end of the year.
• Qualified charitable distributions are made directly to the eligible charity and don’t increase taxable income.
• Create a charitable giving plan with an Everence professional. Learn more at everence.com/charitable-giving.
